The eastbound off-ramp to Montlake is closed on state Route-520 Thursday afternoon after a semi truck got caught on a jersey barrier.

State troopers expect the ramp to be closed for at least another hour while they await a tow truck to help pluck the truck off the guard rail, spokesman Trooper Chris Webb said.

As a result, drivers headed east on SR-520 must cross the bridge across Lake Washington and will be subject to tolls. The state Department of Transportation advises drivers to find alternate routes to the Montlake neighborhood.

The semi truck was reportedly traveling through the off-ramp too quickly shortly before 1 p.m. when it drove up onto the jersey barrier and got stuck there.

No one was injured and no other vehicles appear to be involved in the incident.
